<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Jack Reacher follows his lizard-brain instincts on a seemingly uneventful night in Nashville, where a recently fired man nurses an increasingly violent grudge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - Jack Reacher is back! The "utterly addictive" (<i>The New York Times</i>) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.<br></b><br><b>"One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he's larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. <i>The Sentinel</i> shows that two Childs are even better than one."--James Patterson<br></b><br>As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. <p/>But there's nothing pleasant about the place. <p/>In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. "It was four against one" . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. <p/>The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town's data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. <p/>Reacher is intrigued. There's more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder--all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he's up against. <p/>Rule one: if you don't know the trouble you're in, keep Reacher by your side.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I loved <i>The Sentinel</i>! Classic Reacher, great story. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I do love the spare writing style, the descriptions, Reacher's responses to threats. Joyous stuff. I hope there will be many more Reachers to come."<b>--Conn Iggulden</b> <p/> "It's great to be back in [Reacher's] company in a world where the bad guys get what's coming to them. . . . A smooth transition for a much-loved character."<b>--<i>The Observer</i></b> <p/>"As always, the bad guys--this time, Russian spies and American-Nazi thugs--discover too late that they are no match for Reacher. Despite the change in authors, the writing remains tight and the non-stop action is as propulsive as ever."<b><i>--</i>Associated Press<i> </i></b> <p/> "As ever, [Reacher is] the sole, unrivalled champion of the average man."<b>--<i>Daily Mail</i></b> <p/> "Fresh, perfectly plotted, and packed with action, <i>The Sentinel</i> is one of the year's best, must-read thrillers."<b>--<i>The Real Book Spy</i></b> <p/> "It's terrific. . . . The story is just as powerful. . . . Brutal action mixes with keen-eyed detective work as Reacher metes out his own brand of justice. . . . If this novel is a harbinger of what's to come, then Jack is in good hands."<b>--<i>Booklist </i>(starred review)</b> <p/> "Much of <i>The Sentinel</i> is humorous as Reacher patiently teaches bad guys about the flaws in their tactics. While there's lots of action, the novel also feels like a procedural as Reacher interviews suspects and delves deeper toward the truth. . . . [<i>The Sentinel</i> has] one of the most inventive action sequences in recent memory. . . . It continues the series without any sense that there's now a coauthor. In a year of drastic change, fans will welcome the consistency."<b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lee Child</b> is the author of twenty-four <i>New York Times </i>bestselling Jack Reacher thrillers, with fifteen having reached the #1 position, and the #1 bestselling complete Jack Reacher story collection, <i>No Middle Name</i>. Foreign rights in the Reacher series have sold in one hundred territories. A native of England and a former television director, Lee Child lives in New York City. <p/><b>Andrew Child</b>, who also writes as Andrew Grant, is the author of <i>RUN, False Positive, False Friend, False Witness, Invisible, </i> and <i>Too Close to Home</i>. Child and his wife, the novelist Tasha Alexander, live on a wildlife preserve in Wyoming.
